Turmeric as an anti-inflammatory

Not to be a party pooper but be aware that herbs and spices that come from India may have lead in them. We know of quite a few people who have taken supplements from India and ended up with lead poisoning. I would imagine that Thorne is safe but you could even check with them to see if it is lead tested.

Dr. Gunter, an ob/gyn, wrote an interesting piece on turmeric supplements generally, see link below. I think it is worthwhile reading for anyone considering. I have arthritis and had read a lot about turmeric in that context. Dr. Hunter’s discussion is persuasive and I decided against taking it as a supplement for my arthritis.

Wow and thanks for that information. Lead, plastics, MAC etc. etc.
Ain't it just fun trying to be so careful and responsible to ourselves in wanting to protect ourselves.
I just found out about the plastics found in gum. They sure don't put that on the packaging, the types of plastics used/contained in gum. I would imagine with the latest information out about gum, and the plastics used in gum, there might be some law suits due to lack of disclosure on the packaging. Hope they do go after them, however, from what I understand the Fed's are also somewhat responsible for approving the use of the types of plastic materials in the gum. I would imagine these are some of the..... right things.....R. Kennedy is referring to.
